I don't make the rules, so you'd have to consult whoever does make the rules. I'm not really sure who that is though

Anyone who buys an island is evil sorry I don't make the rules

Reaching through my screen into this photo so I can pull out the rifle and shoot myself

Who thought it would be a good idea to keep that in a household with 3 kids under 5. Is it just so they can flash it at Republicans and win primary votes??

He looks like younger, bow-tie era Tucker Carlson. Twat.

Not a mention in the article of the impact of pollution on fertility, which isn't inconsiderable.

Two factors that have made the birth rate go down are a) greater access to contraception and abortion for women and b) reduced numbers of teenage pregnancies. Of course forced births and forced labour are a-ok with these two.

That's because there is no "movement" and the whole thing is a stunt to promote the ideas of the least thoughtful of all the unthoughtful people who nonetheless consider themselves intellectuals.

like if I tried to end global poverty by becoming really, really rich.

I have some exciting news for you. Have you ever heard of "effective altruism"?

I really really don't get how wearing a corset* while you're pregnant is somehow the most rational option

*Don't come @ me corset fans, I'm sure they are very comfortable, but while you're pregnant? Eight months pregnant?

Wow, these people have not planned anything at all. They're going to homeschool all 7+ kids? And go into politics, a job that infamously has long, unsociable hours?

They bought this house and the one next door for $575,000; they allow their neighbours to live in the second house rent free, in exchange for childcare.

Seems normal !

"There’s a lot of money going after a billionaire for tax evasion but not in someone having a side hustle where they make money under the table selling $50k worth of widgets per year."

Lol and indeed lmao. "One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic".

(...and who has a """side hustle""" with a $50k p.a turnover?! At that point it is no longer a side hustle)

According to wikipedia, Runaway received "mixed reviews".

Interview on Australian anti-fascist radio show Yeah Nah Pasaran! with Dan McQuillan, computer lecturer and author of "Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach To Artificial Intelligence". Interesting comments on AI as a tool of/for austerity politics, and an argument that AI is inherently anti-worker. Probably nothing new to people in here, but eloquently stated and put into a wider political context.
